Aussies retain The Ashes
Seems to me the claim of "moral victory" because of the rain, is rather unique. The British Open Golf 4th day was also played in bad weather, but they played on, and we didnt hear any claims from the losing players that actually they would have won except for the rain. Nor that the internal "out of bounds" were unfair and in the spirit of the game, players whose balls go there should be forgiven. Rules are rules mate!

Exorbitant payment processing fees for AirAsia flights
So what does the "processing fee" entail. ? Probably just a computer key stroke. The point the writer is making it just seems to be a money grab and an unethical practice. Those who dont care contribute to this practice.

Buriram Highway Police crack down on driver using deceptive number plate sticker
Great, now also grab those motor bike rider who tilt the number plate back under the seat so it cannot be read, and those without number plates. Many more of those than the MB cheats.

After Pita, Pheu Thai gets to run the show
And watch the "get out of jail free card" come out soon. So obvious all along

Pita ordered to suspend doing his duties as an MP
But, it is a suspension! the court has not yet made a decision and since they accepted the case for consideration probably they are required to suspend him. But you are right it does not look good..

Pita and his “devil may care” attitude
But enough were prepare to join and make a coalition. And, as leader of the party that won the most votes he is entitled to vie for the PM position if the coalition could make the required number of seats. The ITV and second court cases are an attempt to displace him, before the senators have to declare them selves. If they, as non-elected members prevent the people's choice, they will be condemned. But there are powerful forces involved.

Move Forward Party’s Thai PM Candidate Pita Fails First Round of Voting
You should take a look at the person behind the scene pulling the strings, it was quite obvious when the man in Dubai before the election set the date for his return. Also now you can expect after the dust settles his man sorry, lady, will be able to issue a "get put of jail free" card. What drives politics in Thailand ? its not democracy its $$$$

Pita complains of unfair treatment by the Election Commission
A logical analysis would consider who would be harmed by an EC ruling banning the MFP (Cow Gy) party, and the answer is "peoples democracy" since valid elections are the basis of democracy.

Plan is to rally parliament behind the people’s will to elect Pita Limjaroenrat as Prime Minister
It seems that a BBC reporter here in Thailand is pushing stories that seems to be a familiar line in his support of Taksin and his party

Facial recognition - and other Thai banking fiascos!! - YMMV
I agree totally. SCB easy net on laptop was convenient and safe. Very hard to lose your laptop when it is at home. Also many small businesses in up country villages now in real trouble since the village ATM removed and getting cash means a long trip to the nearest city ATM. Small village shops dont have scanning facilities so only the big businesses benefit, and the Banks reduce their costs with increased profits.
